The current qualitative study using single-case study design, explored the role of reflective writing in making learning effective and long-lasting at university classroom. For this purpose, total sixty-three students enrolled in the course Application of Computer in Measurement, participated voluntarily in the study. The textual data consisted of written-assignments and classroom-tasks were analysed through document-review as data source. The researchers carefully integrated all the texts into keen observation and analysis and extracted meanings from the reflective writings of the participants in order to sustain reflexivity to ensure trustworthiness as a key component of qualitative studies. Each and every participant’s document was passed by indepth and keen analysis employed through coding, categorization and themes generation. The findings showed that students need to develop better understanding in sentence-structuring, application of ideas, how to make meanings from interpretation of texts in terms of improvement. The study also concludes that there was lacking in terms of written-feedback from the teachers however, oral-feedback was utilized at maximum level. The study contributes to the knowledge towards the proper reflective writing practices at higher education level. The implications showed that a single student’s ability may be engaged in successful learning course of action and outcomes through proper guidance provided by the teachers to them regarding reflective-writing.  \nKeywords: Experiential learning, reflection, reflective writing, reflective practice, university classroom, higher education  \n* PhD Scholar, Institute of Education & Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore-54590, Pakistan  \nEmail: [sidrahilyas14@gmail.com](sidrahilyas14@gmail.com)  \n** Associate Professor & Chairman, Department of Educational Research and Evaluation , Institute of Education and Research, University of the Punjab, Lahore-54590, Pakistan  \nEmail: [drsaeed1961@hotmail.com](drsaeed1961@hotmail.com)  \nIntroduction  \nReflection is an active device of cognitive development at higher education level because it becomes fortunate goal of teaching to transfer such knowledge to the students that may help them in fostering their abilities or skills towards reflection practices in the field of education (Moussa-Inaty, 2015) . Reflective writing is considered as a complicated and profound process at higher education level. The reflective writing process not only enhanced students’ engagement for their learning improvement but also has the importance of trigger in the promotion of successful learning course of action (Maclellan, 2004; Davis, 2006; Tsang, 2011; Mair, 2012) . In the words of Chickering and Reisser, 1993, teaching quality may be better visualized when students are reflectively walk through the learning track in order to gain creativity.  \nThere is a direct link of reflection with creative thinking skills as it was evidenced through the experimental study conducted by Dvergsten and Haugen (2015) that cooperation of experiential learning experiences with reflective writing assignments is the best source of creating critical thinking skills. Sheih and Chang (2014) also postured that a combination of problem-solving and creative skills is effectively nourished through experiential learning activities. Teaching may be effective in a way when it promotes cognitive and social aptitude, individuality, high aims and loyalty; on the other hand, teaching will be turn into ineffective process when it fails to develop these skills in individuals. In order to develop such effective qualities in ind","cbCaiqlmMg0ktY8p","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqlmMg0ktY8p","pdf",362628,16,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"What is the focus of the qualitative study?\",\"answer\":\"The study explores how reflective writing supports effective and long-lasting learning in university classrooms within an experiential learning process.\"},{\"question\":\"How were participants and data collected?\",\"answer\":\"Sixty-three students voluntarily participated, and textual data came from written assignments and classroom tasks analyzed via document review.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the findings indicate about reflective writing?\",\"answer\":\"Students were found to need stronger understanding in sentence structuring, applying ideas, and creating meanings from text interpretation, while teacher written feedback was relatively lacking though oral feedback was used more.\"}]","Reflection Completes the Learning Process - A Qualitative Study at Higher Education | PDF",1792082829,40,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":100},[101,105,109,113,118,122,126,129,134,137,141],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":106,"show_sort_weight":107,"slug":108},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":125},7,"Healthcare","healthcare",{"id":86,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},30,"research-report",{"id":130,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":131,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":133},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":132,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":135,"show_sort_weight":132,"slug":136},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":138,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":139,"show_sort_weight":138,"slug":140},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":142,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":143,"show_sort_weight":114,"slug":144},19,"General","general"]
